Deciphering the language of the genome.

The non-coding DNA in eukaryotic genomes encodes a language which programs organismal growth and development. We show that a linguistic and cryptographic approach can be used to deduce the syntax of this programming language for gene regulation and to compile a dictionary of enhancers which form its words.

Thrombosis of the internal carotid artery due to soft palate injury.

Thrombosis of the internal carotid artery is a rare complication of soft palate injury, only 16 cases having been previously documented. We present the case of a 5 1/2 year-old-boy who sustained an apparently trivial laceration to the right aspect of the soft palate. However, 48 hours after injury, a right cerebral infarct occurred with subsequent left hemiparesis. On supportive and rehabilitative management he made a good recovery over a period of one year.

Relation between cognitive and motor-oriented systems of visual position perception.

Although subjects failed to detect a target displacement if it occurred near the time of a saccadic eye movement (a cognitive visual task), they were still able to point to the center of the target with an unseen pointer (a motor visual task). Pointing performance was not affected by detecting or failing to detect a stimulus displacement. The experiments demonstrate that some information that is available to a motor-oriented visual system is unavailable to the cognitive visual system, under conditions simulating normal perception.
